A QUIRKY RAY OF SUNSHINE BREATHES NEW LIFE INTO A LONELY WIDOWER IN THIS DEBUT NOVEL BY ROBIN HILL.
Be the butterfly, Frankie… 
Francesca Valentine would rather swear off chocolate than go on vacation solo, but she made a promise to her late father to come out of her shell and live a little. When her best friend bails on their annual girls’ trip, she vows to do just that, but her plan is foiled when the hotel loses her reservation. Alone and stranded in Austin, Texas during one of the world’s largest music festivals, she's rescued by a mysterious stranger, and an unexpected friendship blossoms.
Ten years after losing his family in a tragic accident, Darian Fox is finally back on his feet. The onetime rock star turned successful indie label-owner is content with the isolated life he’s created for himself and wants to keep it that way. But when he’s forced to travel to Texas on behalf of his company, he finds it’s hard to be alone in a city overrun with people. He meets the beautiful, magnetic Francesca and discovers alone is the last thing he wants to be. 
The unlikely pair form a bond that elevates them from merely existing to living a life less ordinary. But the lines of friendship quickly blur, and when Francesca’s true feelings surface, Darian will have to decide between breaking her heart and breaking the promise he made to the family he lost. With his own heart ruled by guilt, does Francesca even stand a chance?
…Spread your wings and fly. 
WAITING FOR THE SUN is part one in a two part duet. Part two, RIDERS ON THE STORM, to follow. Due to mature content, both installments are recommended for readers 18 and up.

One thing is certain. Robin Hill can write. Oh my god can she write. Her flawless prose and her eloquent words managed numerous times to knock the wind out me cause the emotion behind the story and its characters were so powerful.
Waiting For The Sun is such a life affirming story of loss, taking changes not only with your life but with your heart. Francesca and Darian snuck into my heart immediately and I never let them go cause I didn’t want to. Their story was too important. I felt I was on the sidelines with them experiencing their beginning of a friendship that would impact them both and change them forever. Irrevocably.

Darian and Francesca are two people I could see something of myself in. I could relate with them and that’s why this story resonated so strongly with me. They’ve both experienced losing people they love. How they to chose to deal with their losses was a different matter. Their friendship and relationship was written in a fabulous pace that gave both characters time to evolve. Individually and together.
There’s so many incredible moments throughout their relationship and I loved how effortlessly the author blended romance, angst and humor into the story which gave it more depth.

It’s hard to fathom that Waiting For The Sun is Robin Hill’s debut cause it definitely didn’t read and feel like it. She blew me away with her first book. Darian and Francesca made me laugh, swoon, cry, cheer. I pretty much went through every emotion. I want more of this captivating couple, more of Robin Hill’s exquisite writing. I’ll be patiently waiting for the sequel cause this story it just that damn good.

"Wow. I loved it. Yep!!! You guys were right about this one. Totally reminiscent of our old school indie feels!! I mean... from the "meet-cute" to the "just hanging out as friends" to the obvious attraction, and the TOTALLY believable push-pull (and all the heartbreaking history behind it). I believed it. Felt every "feel" and especially the "whys" of this emotional journey." - Maryse, Maryse's Book Blog
"This is a debut novel, but leaves out no element of a romance; swoony, wit, charm, funny moments and emotional. It tells a chocolate mousse love story: fluffy and delicious on the surface and then three bites in (or fifty pages) you realize how deep and rich it really is." - Bestselling Author Emma Scott, Forever Right Now
"I laughed. I swooned. I raged. I swooned. And I really liked this book." - Paige, A is for Alpha B is for Books
  
​​​​​​Robin Hill spends 75% of her day writing, 30% reading, and a good 25% hanging out with her husband whilst simultaneously stalking random people online. She’s terrible at math. She loves wine. Coincidence? Maybe.
She also loves to cook, eat cheeseburgers, listen to The Doors, and watch Jeopardy. She hates flying and blue cheese, and she's not too keen on treadmills. She believes in aliens but not ghosts. And she dream casts Josh Duhamel in every book she reads.
Robin hides out at her Texas Hill Country compound with her husband and their little poodle princess, Alice Malice.
